Question

A cyclist can pedal at a speed of 3m/s for 6 min. How many meters will the cyclist pedal in that time?

Answer 1

3 m/s would give `3 xx 60 =180` metres in a minute

In 6 mins you would travel `6 xx 180=1080` metres in total

Answer 2

`1080\ "m"`

Explanation:

`"Distance = Speed × Time"`

`color(white)("Distance") = 3 "m"/cancel"s" × 6 cancel"min" × (60 cancel"s")/(1 cancel"min")`

`color(white)("Distance") = 1080\ "m"`
